Abstract: A sag calculator (112) computes sag for a span of a line section based at least in part upon an average temperature of the conductors in the line section. A temperature calculator (110) determines the temperature by ascertaining an ohmic resistance of the conductor lines based at least in part upon time-synchronized power system voltage and current measurements such as (but not limited to) phasor measurements generated by phasor measurement units (104, 106). The temperature calculator (110) determines the temperature as a function of the ohmic resistance.

Abstract: A method and computer-based system for retrieving, accessing and storing data otherwise stored in a plurality of IT systems arranged for operating a part of one or more electrical power networks. The method and computer-based system provide integration of otherwise separate systems such as GIS, SCADA, ERP and/or CMMS. The integration includes an XML/CIM layer for data exchange and a virtual asset register containing references to objects representing assets in the power networks. A human-machine interface and a computer program for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a system and method offering control and management of manufacturing resources (Machine 1, Machine 2 . . . Machine n) to obtain optimal manufacturing capacities and to avoid manufacturing down-time currently realized through manual operation and control of manufacturing resources. In an illustrative implementation, the present invention contemplates an exemplary control computing application (180) operating in a computing environment (100) which communicates with, cooperates with, and provides control over at least one manufacturing resource (e.g. manufacturing machine—Machine 1, Machine 2, . . . Machine n). The computing application (180) provides at least one instruction set (110?) for use in controlling the manufacturing resource. The communication of the instruction set may be realized local to the manufacturing resource, remotely from the manufacturing resource, or some combination thereof.

Abstract: Electric utility storm outage management is performed by determining an interconnection model of an electric utility power circuit, the power circuit comprising power circuit components, determining information indicative of weather susceptibility of the power circuit components, determining a weather prediction, and determining a predicted maintenance parameter based on the interconnection model, the weather susceptibility information, and the weather prediction.
